 a shaft configured as a tube, 
 wherein the first and second backrest adjusters are connected to one another by the shaft, 
 wherein a circumference of the shaft is configured to transmit a torque to at least one of the first backrest adjuster and/or the second backrest adjuster, 
 wherein one of a handwheel or a motor drive is provided on the shaft, 
 wherein the first backrest adjuster has a first axial securing mechanism positioned on a first end of the shaft, 
 wherein the second backrest adjuster has a second axial securing mechanism positioned on the second end of the shaft, 
 wherein the first axial securing mechanism is a thread-cutting nut, 
 wherein the shaft protrudes at least partially out of the second backrest adjuster.
